While both took a cerebral approach to movie making, it was Antonioni who created more fashion-centric fare. In fact, fellow Italian Miuccia Prada has cited the director as her cinematic kindred spirit. One only needs to look at early collections (like fall 1995, above left) to see the influence of Antonioni\u2019s signature stark black-and-white 1960s style (as in L\u2019Avventura, above right). Arrivederici, Antonioni.\n\n[\n\n](http://blog.teenvogue.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/08/02/blowupredgrave.jpg)\n\nFilm footnote: It took the emergence of mod London\u2019s fashion scene for the Ferrera, Italy-born Antonioni to make his biggest studio hit, &amp;quot;Blow Up&amp;quot; (above left). After all, what could make for a better movie than models (look for decade-defining beauties like Peggy Moffit, Veruschka, and Jane Birkin) and murder (&amp;quot;Did I or didn\u2019t I photograph a dead body?&amp;quot; is the question faced by the David Bailey-esque main character Thomas)? Plus, mystery woman Jane (Vanessa Redgrave) is dressed, above right, in the era\u2019s most swinging brand: Gucci."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
